My first .22LR

Post by Grello »

She's a 1969 Browning original T-Bolt, made in Belgium by Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FN Herstal). She's been professionally shortened to have a 15" threaded barrel and is super accurate. Pretty huh?

Yes she is, and with that nice butt pad, recoil should be almost nothing! Nice T bolt

Thanks bunkysdad. There's no recoil to speak of and it makes the butt a decent length - it was a tad short before. Cheers!

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Please, I have enough problems, I had to ask my neighbor what "Poofter" meant, I heard it watching that Midsomer Murders show, I thought it was some form of profession or something. She laughed her ass off.

I had an Uncle who could speak Cockney, he did it on purpose just to bust balls as he was a university educated archaeologist who could speak clear English. He came over from London in the 1960's and passed a few years ago.
